Summary
This document provides an overview of the structure and functions of the human skin. It describes the layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, and explains their roles in protection, sensation, temperature regulation, and vitamin D synthesis. The document also discusses the different types of glands found in the skin and the role they play in maintaining homeostasis.
